"Chapadão do Bugre" is a TV-epic based on the novel of the same title written by one of the most important brazilian writer of this century, Mr. Mário Palmério. The adaptation for TV of the cruel story of "Izé de Arimáteia" (wonderfully played by Celulari) in the 20's years when started the exploration of the inner lands of Brazil is remarkable and credible. There's a lot of violence here, but it's okay because it's tightly attached to the truth of these times. If you want to see a competent brazilian's TV production, don't miss this one.
